A member asked:
I suffer with anxiety and find i get a lot of aches and pains in my left arm. could it be my heart or just stress aches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See physician: Good idea to get checked medically as soon as possible to rule out a medical condition. If they find nothing medical to explain it, consider anxiety management that includes: 1. Learning relaxation exercises like progressive muscle relaxation and 2. Addressing cognitive factors driving the anxiety.
